I wanted something bright and festive and fun for New Year’s Eve and didn’t want to stick to just gold or just silver so I combined the two by painting half of my nail with one and the other half, with the other. It’s similar to my dark glitter stripe manicure and nude glitter stripe …

As usual, it was a warm and sunny Christmas day here in Los Angeles and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love it. I remember riding my brand new skateboard in my brand new fringe boots and denim Guess mini skirt in the 80’s on a sunny Christmas morning and marveling in it… …
We are so happy to have our little family all home and back together, it’s the only thing that matters this Christmas morning. LeRoy’s a little banged up and randomly shaved all over his little body but he’s ridiculously happy to be home as well. We wish you the Merriest of days today whether you …
While our tree is very non-traditional in color this year, the rest of our decor is very stereotypically Christmassy. I actually didn’t go too crazy, just the mantel and tabletop and front door. Our pretty white lights strewn over the outside of our house is my favorite part, yet they don’t photograph as nicely as …
What I’m Wearing* J Brand black coated leggings/jeans {courtesy of J brand jeans}… I love them. They have little sparkles all over them but are subtle and from a distance, have a leather-like look. They’re pretty stretchy and since I’ve lost a few lbs, I could have sized down, but they are comfy!* Vintage black …
I loved my festive glitter striped nails for about two days. Then, I have to admit, it was just too much for me. So I scaled down to a much simpler, yet still festive Christmas manicure of red and green. I really wasn’t going to post about them but had a few questions via my …
Eavesdropping on a random tweet conversation via Holly of Decor8 & Anna of Doorsixteen, I followed a link about a new copycat site called Pinspire. By the name I immediately knew it was a clone of Pinterest and while I’ve seen this happening all over the internet on various different levels, I wondered if it …
I’ll never have a baby. And as soon as I stop thinking that way for even just a minute, I am reminded of it in the worst possible way. The hope/disappointment cycle reminds me of my relationship with my late father, which now that I think about it, has always been a part of my …

Another fun Martha Stewart glitter glue manicure! Stripes would be almost impossible for me to do without these easy squeezy tubes! I swear this stuff comes in so handy {hehe -no pun intended} for so many projects. I haven’t had red nails in so long I can’t even remember. The husband loves them {with or …
What I’m Wearing* BB Dakota gray cardigan with fringe* Charcoal gray burnout trapeze tank {no brand}* Victoria’s Secret fold-over yoga leggings {which are super comfy though they do bag-out a bit, as you can see around my knees} but I like them because they’re really thick and you can actually wear them as pants. * …
I found these rough little faux flowers when I picked up my hydrangeas a few weeks ago and I’m not sure exactly what kind of flower they’re supposed to be {anyone?} but they have a gritty texture and are sort of light navy or cornflower blue in color. I originally planned to use them in …
This low side bun is one of the easiest and quickest hair styles to create and works perfectly for various occasions. It can go from a messy, bohemian look to a sleek and pretty updo simply depending on the way you secure it & style it. For this particular tutorial, the goal is a quick …
